DeWalt Power Tools - History in the Making
That is how Raymond E. DeWalt the founder started. A second generation construction and mill worker promoted to the head position of a woodworking mill, he was pushed by the owner to pinch the pay of the men in order to get more work out of them. Rather than see his men be paid less, in 1922 Raymond invented the first DeWalt Tool, the first radial arm saw that did the work of 4 men and cut his labor costs immensely.
Power Tool Combo
DeWalt Products Co. - Manufacturer
Two years late Ralph created the DeWalt Products Co. to produce the first of the many widely manufactured and distributed the Tools, the Wonder-Worker, a table saw with radial arm.
Rapid Expansion
The Second World War brought government orders in 1941, for tools and machinery to comply with national defense and wartime requirements.
Power Tools Progress
Over the next 24 years they steadily grew and introduced to new products, the bench grinder in 1967 and metal cutting machines for ferrous and non-ferrous metals in 1971.
Spectacular Growth - Portable Power Tools
The most notable growth of the company came in 1992 when the first portable electric Power Tools and accessories were introduced. These were specifically designed for the baby boomers' housing boom and the increase need for residential contractors, re-modelers, and professional woodworkers.
Power Tools Cordless Revolution
Two years later again, in 1994, DeWalt launched a revolution with their cordless DeWalt Power Tools. These included drill/drivers, screwdrivers, impact drivers, impact wrenches, saws, flashlights, and the first combination drill/driver/hammerdrill.
DeWalt Power Tools Today
Today, there are over 200 electric Power Tools and more than 800 acessories, with new products being introduced every year. DeWalt Inc. makes a special effort to honor their founder and original genius by encouraging submissions of new ideas and inventions to keep DeWalt Power Tools the most innovative and reliable power tool manufacturer today.

Included in the kit is the 2602-20 1/2-inch hammer drill/driver, which is able to drill 20 percent faster in concrete than the competition. It owes its robust performance to a four-pole motor that delivers 550 inch/pounds of peak torque and 29,000 BPM, and it features a variable-speed trigger that provides speed control between 0-1,700 RPM (high speed) and 0-450 RPM (low speed) and an all-metal 1/2-inch single-sleeve ratcheting chuck for bit retention. For added flexibility and long life, this hammer drill/driver has the only metal gear case in its class.

Able to make fast, clean horizontal cuts, the kit's 2630-20 circular saw boasts rough-and-tough magnesium guards for maximum durability and an electronic brake to quickly stop the blade. An aircraft aluminum shoe provides accuracy, while an ergonomic, compact, and lightweight design includes a soft-grip handle for all-day comfort and control.
Finally, the work light included in the kit illuminates your work space. Its compact, ergonomic design combines with a 135-degree rotating head for easy adjustments, while a fold-away utility hook enables both hands-free use and space-saving storage.
 Reliable, long-lasting LITHIUM-ION power is just one part of a full feature set. |
Cordless power frees you from the hassle of extension cords, but a cordless tool is only as reliable as its battery--that's where Milwaukee's M18 XC high-capacity lithium-ion batteries come in. Engineered to deliver torque, speed, and extended runtime, these batteries make use of Milwaukee's trademarked Digital Power Management technology to ensure long battery life. Additionally, overload protection, a temperature management system, and individual cell voltage monitoring guard your battery and your tools during tough jobs.
A convenient power gauge on each battery displays remaining runtime, and a second battery is included with the kit, so you never have to worry about running out of power in the middle of a task. Plus the M18 lithium-ion battery charger is designed to recharge batteries in one hour or less.
Since lithium-ion batteries are significantly smaller and lighter than 18-volt NiCad batteries, they play an integral role in keeping Milwaukee's M18 tools ergonomic and comfortable to use. For added versatility, M18 tools also work with even lighter M18 compact lithium-ion batteries (not included).
Launched in 2008, the M18 series from Milwaukee balances power and ergonomics. M18 tools pack the best-in-class, heavy-duty performance that you expect from Milwaukee into lighter, more compact bodies than those of traditional tools. This translates to improved versatility on the jobsite and reduced user fatigue at the end of the workday.
In 1924 Milwaukee Electric Tool introduced the Hole-Shooter, the first lightweight, portable, one-handed 1/4-inch capacity drill, and the company has been dedicated to producing innovative, heavy-duty electric power tools that meet the needs of professional users ever since.
Milwaukee's product line has grown to include more than 500 tools and over 3,500 accessories. Milwaukee uses state-of-the-art technologies and sophisticated manufacturing techniques to ensure that quality is built into each of its tools, resulting in durable and reliable professional products.
